Any idea why this would be happening? We record Deadliest Catch and for the last few weeks it is giving us a searching for signal during the recording and doesn't record anything. For a couple of weeks we could record the rerun on Friday nights, but this week, it was searching at that timeslot also.
Thanks for any ideas. To my knowledge that is the only channel that has problems.

Look at TLC, Bravo or Syfy. Those are on the same transponder as Discovery. I would think they wold have the same issue. Signal strengths when the issue is happening may help as well.

Sounds like you may have a tuner not working, check signal strength on BOTH tuners.

Both tuners show 95%. I will check out the other channels mentioned above, TLC etc.
Thanks for the help and advice.

All of the channels mentioned by dpeters11 above are doing the same thing. Bad alignment? Bad Tuner? Both signals show 95%, but don't know which individual transponder to look at.

Thanks,

Transponder 10 on DirecTV12 at 102.

Could be a multiswitch, but a couple of simple things to try first. Reset your reciever and also go to D*'s site online and reauthorize that unit.

Got to really looking, and it looks like a tree limb with a few leaves is starting to get between the dish and 119. Tech coming out today to move dish.
Thanks all

those channels come in on the 103 though. But it does sound like a tree or something growing in front of it (or maybe a bad lnb, but thats less likely), especially if the 101 is at 95, if you switched satellites to 103cb or 103ca im sure you would see much lower numbers
